Human Trafficking

﻿Human trafficking is a form of modern day slavery that plagues every country across the world. Men, women, and children are taken against their will every day and forced into prostitution or slave labor. Most victims’ ages range from 18 to 24 year of age, although there are children that are trafficked. ( ) Victims, most likely, are from poor families or have been abused or mistreated. Some children are sold by their own families for money. Other families are promised that if they send their child away with the traffickers, they will be taken to a nice place where there are lots of jobs and children will be able to send money home to the family. The traffickers make billions of dollars in profit from smuggling the victims into other countries or other areas and/or paid for by using the victims in slave labor or prostitution. Human trafficking is a very serious form of organized crime and one of the fastest growing in the world. As long as there is a demand, traffickers will supply these victims. ( )

Labor trafficking is when people are put to work against their will. These victims are forced to do a variety of jobs including working on farms, in factories, or in personal homes as servants. The workers are paid little to no pay and have to face inhumane conditions. The traffickers use force and intimidation to keep the victims. The victims are kept against their will without their proper documentation and are not allowed to come and go anywhere on their own.

Sex trafficking is another form of human trafficking. This form of trafficking mostly applies to women and children. The traffickers target helpless women who may have been abused or mistreated. Brothels, escort services, strip clubs, and other fake businesses that employ prostitutes are the places where these victims are bought and/or traded and used for profit. Like the victims of labor trafficking, these people get paid little to no money and are not free to go and come at their own free will and...

...The Human Toy
In our world today, we see and hear about an abundance of crime and human dysfunction. We see cases of illegal trade of weapons and drugs. Yes, this causes distress throughout the county and our world, but these are just “things.” Beyond the drugs and weapons, there is an even worse kind of illegal trade. Humans. Besides the illegal trade of weapons and drugs, humantrafficking is the third largest illegal money-maker (Farr 2). Humantrafficking is the purchase, sale, recruitment, harboring, transportation, transfer, or receipt of a person for the purpose of commercial sex (Gerdes 19). This being the world’s third largest illegal industry, it is rarely heard of and expressed.
HumanTrafficking is an enormous global problem. Of the estimated four million people who are trafficked around the world each year, over one million are trafficked into the sex industry. The volume keeps increasing. Researchers believe that the “actual” numbers are much higher than these estimates because many instances of trafficking go undetected (Farr 3). Researchers have concluded that sex trafficking is one of the most, if not the most, rapidly growing form of humantrafficking (Farr 5). This industry is expanding at an ever accelerating rate, operating in marketplaces where...

...﻿HUMANTRAFFICKING AND THE CAUSE OF IT
Humantrafficking is recruitment, transportation, transfer or harbouring persons either by the threat or use of kidnapping, assault, fraud, or coercion, or the giving or receiving payment of interest or illegal to reach agreement a person having control over others for the purpose of sexual exploitation or forced labour. Smuggling does not require transnational movement; anyone can become victims of humantrafficking such as documented and unauthorized immigrants. There are many factors of humantrafficking such as cultural factors, corruption and law enforcement are weak and poverty.
There are many factors that caused this social plague. First and foremost, women’s role in the family. Although cultural norm stress that a women’s place is at home as wife and mother, it is acknowledged that women may have to become supplementary wage earners in times of family need. A sense of duty and obligation drives many women migrate for work in order to support their families. Other than that, children’s role in their respective family. Obedience to parents and obligation to support the family makes children vulnerable to trafficking. Child labour, child migration for work and child bonded labour are deemed acceptable family financial strategies to survive. Followed by another factor which is early marriage. From...

...type of slavery such as forced labour where sexual abuse is also common.
HumanTraffickingHumantrafficking is the commercial trade or trafficking in human beings for the purpose of some form of slavery, usually recruiting, transporting or obtaining a person by force, coercion or deceptive means. It includes, for example, recruiting or transporting a person for forced labour or debt bondage, or providing or obtaining a person for forced labour or debt bondage by use of force, fraud or coercion, or trafficking people for sexuality.
It should be distinguished from people smuggling as that is the illegal transportation of people across borders, where people voluntarily pay a fee to the smuggler, usually free to continue on their own after arrival in the hope of starting a new life in the destination country.
Humantrafficking can involve a whole line of criminal activity, from recruitment and harbouring of victims, to transport and sale, to obtaining or buying and finally exploiting that person in slavery or forced labour. Victims of humantrafficking might be recruited in a number of ways.
E.g. They may be lured by a false job offer or offer of migration or a marriage proposal. In other cases, victims may be sold by family members, recruited by former slaves, deceived, intimidated or even physically abducted....

...Desire of HumanTraffickingHumantrafficking is considered to be the equivalent to modern day slavery. Even judging by the definition, humantrafficking has a very negative term. Humantrafficking, in many articles, is described as “the illegal trade of human beings, mainly for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation or forced labor” (“HumanTrafficking”). Humantrafficking is becoming more and more of a problem and it has caught the attention of the UN. The UN is seeing that humantrafficking is affecting the economies of countries and is morally wrong. One of the countries that suffers significantly from humantrafficking is the Philippines.
History
The Philippines has become increasingly vulnerable to humantrafficking. This is partly due to the country’s economic difficulty. About 11 million Filipinos work overseas to help their family still living in the Philippines. A specific reason that Filipinos go overseas is because there are not many jobs in the Philippines. The economy leaves many Filipinos looking for jobs in different places that many believe will give them money to support their family. As a result of this, many female Filipinos are lured into human...

...Social issue: Humantrafficking…
In this report I will be writing about humantrafficking in Wales, Europe and other parts of the world.
Humantrafficking is an illegal activity. This involves selling, buying and trading of people. They are transported away from their families and communities and are forced to work against their own will. People are trafficked both between countries and within the borders of a state. It is also known as modern slavery and a form of sexual exploitation; where women’s, girls and children’s are forced to enter in the world of prostitution. Also involves forced labour or services, the removal of organs. People do this to make money, for some people it’s a business a way to make profit. (Ref 1)
I chose this topic for research because this is a very sensitive issue and it is shocking that humantrafficking still exists today. It’s a very upsetting matter that there is no value for human life and humans are used to make money which is really inhumane.
Wales
From BBC news October 2012, I have discovered that humantrafficking is increasing in the UK according to the new government testament. Studies say that organised criminal gangs are behind the illegal trade for sex, labour and domestic slavery. Most of the victims come from China, Nigeria and Eastern...

...An Invisible Issue: HumanTrafficking
Many people know the basics of what humantrafficking is but what they don’t know is how often it occurs. People do not spend time thinking about how many people humantrafficking affects or how to stop it. Humantrafficking is an issue that is highly ignored. Many people believe that the selling of people into slavery is not a problem in America or not a big problem at all. The truth is that there are large amounts of humantrafficking happening all over the world, even in the United States. People must be informed so society can begin to take action to stop the problem.
There are many cases of humantrafficking, mostly amongst women and children. Humantrafficking specifically of women is used internationally for economic gain. In order to transport women and children across the border force, coercion and fraud are used. Humantrafficking is compared to drug trafficking but less risky because the trades can easily seem more legitimate. Also with poverty and a lack of education increasing, the United Nations predicts that humantrafficking will increase rapidly with them (Veenstra 1472). People need to be taught about the haunting facts otherwise the rate of...

...HumanTrafficking Essay
A bit of history on the topic HumanTrafficking and where it comes from. There are a lot of different arguments about when humantrafficking could have started. Some say that the slave trade that involved Africans being captured by slave traders and shipped across the Atlantic to America was the first humantrafficking. Others argue that the forced labor of children during the 1700s was the real beginning of what is now known as humantrafficking. Humantrafficking for sexual purposes was first legally recognized by the term 'white slavery'. According to Kristiina Kangaspunta the Executive Officer of the Applied Research Program of the UNICRI branch of the United Nations. 'White slavery' is when a white woman or girl- by the use of force, drugs, or by dishonesty- for sex which is unwanted by the woman or girl. Kristiina Kangapunta, has also argued that international governments began to discuss 'white slavery' after the transatlantic slave trade was made illegal. (T. Mills Kelly, HumanTrafficking in Historical Perspective, August 2012) (University of Nebraska–Lincoln, Conference Agenda, 2012)
Just about every country in the world is involved in the intertwined web of humantrafficking. Most victims of human...

...Humantrafficking is the illegal trade in human beings for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation or forced labour. Trafficking in persons is a serious crime and a grave violation of human rights. Trafficking is a lucrative industry. It is second only to drug trafficking as the most profitable illegal industry in the world.
In 2004, the total annual revenue for trafficking in persons were estimated to be between USD $5 billion and $9 billion. Every year, thousands of men, women and children fall into the hands of traffickers, in their own countries and abroad. Almost every country in the world is affected by trafficking, whether as a country of origin, transit or destination for victims. In my speech, I plan to persuade you that humantrafficking is real and is becoming a bigger issue than we think and we need to stop this from happening to anyone ever again.
In 2010, the United Nations estimated nearly 2.5 million people from 127 different countries are being trafficked into 137 countries around the world. Unlike most cases of human smuggling, victims of humantrafficking are not permitted to leave upon arrival at their destination.
Traffickers recruit women and children through deceptive means including falsified employment advertisements for domestic workers,...
